Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: 118-The Friend Who Trusted me

Helanie:

Lucy’s phone beeping was the sign that Gavin had been hitting her up, actually.

He raised his head to acknowledge us, and after giving me a nod, he walked over to us. Lucy acted timid, steadily holding my back and moving closer to me.

"What’s up? You guys headed somewhere?" Gavin asked.

"Yeah, for lunch. Want to join us?" I asked, feeling bad for him catching us like that. We should have asked him to join us.

"I’m not sure if everybody wants me to join them," Gavin muttered.

"Gavin, please come," Lucy came from behind me and spoke to him nicely. Gavin smiled at me.

It was after some time that the two were smiling at each other genuinely. I just wish Lucy hadn’t done what she did.

But for now, I really wanted to leave this hostel and go eat something.

Before we could walk out, Jenny came after us. She seemed to want to join us but instead, stood to the side, rubbing her palms together.

"You want to come?" Lamar asked her, making Lucy glare at him.

If she comes with us, things might get a bit awkward, but then I remembered she had skipped lunch too. So, as we all watched her face, she smiled and nodded her head as she accepted the offer.

Now, it was just us walking out of the hostel.

"Why did he invite her?" Lucy whispered in my ear, making me uncomfortable since Jenny was right beside me on my left.

I tried to warn Lucy with a look, silently pleading with her not to say or do anything here, but she ignored me. Instead, she kept making remarks about how shameless Jenny was for tagging along with us.

"Oh, shoot! How are we all going to fit in one car?" Lucy pouted as we reached the vehicle. I knew exactly what she was trying to do.

"No need to worry. I can take all of us to the café," Penn’s voice interrupted, and suddenly, he arrived in his 7-seater Rolls-Royce SUV, pulling up smoothly right in front of us. He got out, flashing a welcoming smile. Wearing sunglasses and branded clothes, he looked like a rich alpha straight out of a book.

"Wow! Is this your car?" Gavin exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly as he stared at the luxurious vehicle.

"Come on, hop in," Penn insisted. Without delay, Gavin jumped into the backseat, followed by the rest of us. Penn and Jenny sat in the front, with Penn taking the wheel.

"How are you?" I asked Gavin. He had twisted in his seat to talk to Lucy and me. However, Lucy had nudged me into the middle, likely to avoid any awkward interaction.
